School Run Colours #3

It is week 3, and I am, contrary to all my expectations, persisting with my School Run Colours linky. A huge thank you to Merlinda and Sara who joined in last week with their very own school run colours.

It has not been easy to keep up with the walking/cycling/scooting to and from school this week. Dropping temperatures and bleak days have done nothing to help my resolve of completely ditching the car for our school run.

But my three year old is an inspiration. Unlike his mother, he thrives in the cold weather and insists on scooting or cycling or walking to school. Even when it rains, because then puddle-jumping as a sport comes into its own.

So egged on by J, I have continued to walk to and from school. There are days when I park the car half-way there and then walk the rest of the way. I do make a serious effort not to drive all the way to the school gates. That would completel defeat the purpose of School Run Colours.

Slowly and steadily, I am getting used to walking four miles every day. I will get there in the end.

In the meantime, two miles daily is a good start. And a great way to capture colour and be inspired by it.

I would love it if you added the School Run Colours badge to your post, and if you followed me on twitter (@vaichin). Please use the hashtag #SchoolRunColours when sharing your posts on social media, so we can spread the word. I will be pinning all linked up posts to my Pinterest board School Run Colours. It would be great if you could follow the board.

I used to struggle with walking the school run but the more I did it, the more used to it I got. Now, I don't think I'd ever want to do anything other than walk it. Love the colours on your photo. I really must take a snap on our walk-I keep forgetting though. Hopefully I will link up to this soon-it's a great idea!
